Post Reunion Survey

On August 24, 25, and 26th, 2012, the Mumford Class of 62 held our 50-year reunion featuring Elementary School get togethers Friday Night, the Reunion at the Troy Somerset Inn Saturday Night and an imprompto Brunch at the Somerset Inn on Sunday morning. Friday Night was a warm-up, as we met in smaller groups and spent quality time saying hello. Over 400 of us reunited on Saturday at the Somerset Inn, the night was both electric and much too short. On Sunday, we met in the Somerset Inn for breakfast or brunch before everyone left for their respective homes... Names and stories about those who attended and those who could not attend were affectionately told, embellished, and savored. The weekend confirms, with all our similarities and individual differences, we remain a very special group . . . and it was super great to re-connect with old friends and classmates.

That said, we, the reunion committee, were asked all weekend, "What are we doing next?"

This survey pertains to each of the events and will help us decide the ifs and whens of what we do in the future.  We'd also like to know what we did right and what we could do better.  Please take a few minutes to provide your feedback so the next event will be successful and to your liking.  There are a reasonable number of questions; please answer any or all for which you have time.  Do not feel obligated to answer all.  (Though, we really would like to hear your opinions.)

Thank you,

Your Reunion Committee

P.S.  There are no trick questions.  And extra credit will be given for having an answer for every question !
